I'm not nearly as kick ass as you! But when you said there will be two bolts on the out side of the Playa Pod for charging the batteries, will they always be connected to the batter?
My only thought is that they will probably get super corroded. But I'm sure you thought of that, and I'm just not understanding the whole design.

What is the white stuff that you used?

Why don't ya stick your head in that hole and find out? ~pieholePlan for the worst, expect the best. Make the most out of it under any conditions. If you cannot do that you will never enjoy yourself. ~CrispyDave

Just bolts going through the wall at the front to hook the jumpers to and inside, either connected permenent or make a short set of cables just to be safe.

The "white stuff" is Henry's elastomer roof coating (7 year warrenty) for $80 for 4.75gals.

Since it's made for roofs, I'm not afraid to hose out the "pod".

It also comes in a 12 year.

Sticks 5x better than paint and NO PREP!

Consider insulation.
Structural foam can be used as part of the structure and fibreglass can be used with a space frame, like 1/4" and 1/4", etc.
More rigidity, similar weight.
Reflectix weighs almost nothing, and could be removable, as could foam sheet with foil.
I've used the foam this way.

I had to replace my liner recently and replaced the cdx with exterior grade oregon fir five layer.
Stronger, and I could have gone thinner with it.
Marine would have been better.
Treated base grade was not recommended.

A vented attic, even thin, might be useful if you ever use it without the awning, like in transit.

I strongly recommend separate turn signals, including side turn signals.
We would see trailers, but most people don't.

I just got a book on wiring options, plugs, etc, so if I can help, let me know.
Of course, I recommend conspicuity tape.
Fyi, the harbor freight stuff is fake.

My quandary is that I never use combined brake/turn signals, but I am borrowing a trailer wired that way now, and might in the future, so I have to decide how to wire to deal with that.
I may end up with two different systems on the truck.

I like to use relays to isolate and allow good trailer lighting.
Seems I'm not the only one to think of that.
The catalog I have offers several black boxes for this.

Remember that reverse lighting is just as useful for warning people not to hit you, as seeing.
I like the hella dual bulb work lights.
They make flush mount and bolt on, multiple lens patterns.
